Kees de Boekhouder has now made it possible to link your business bank account to your administration. The bank link checks whether your administration is complete, and shows you which transactions still need to be processed in your income and expenses.
How does the bank link work?
The bank link checks whether all the transactions of your business bank account have been added to your administration as income or expenses. This is done by way of making ‘matches’. Depending on the number of similarities the bank link is able to find, as many transactions as possible will be automatically linked to a booking in your administration. Transactions for which no match is found can then be processed manually.
How can I manually process a transaction?
Transactions that were not automatically matched can be processed in one of the following ways:
1. Search for the correct transaction and match it manually
Select the transaction you’d like to process, choose the corresponding booking from the list, and click Match. The transaction has now been processed and linked to your administration.
2. Create a direct booking in your administration
Click Add income or Add expense to create a booking in your administration for this transaction. Complete the booking and save it. The transaction will be matched immediately.
3. Assign the transaction to a category
Click Choose other category if the transaction isn’t part of the business administration. Then choose the category under which you’d like to process the transaction.
Is the bank link mandatory?
No, using the bank link is not mandatory. Your bookkeeper only needs you to process your business income and expenses in your administration. Other (private) transactions or, for example, payments to the tax authorities don’t need to be added to the books. However, by linking your bank account, these transactions will automatically appear in your overview, and you’ll have to process them by assigning them a category. Whether you want this or not is completely up to you.
How are the transactions imported?
Using a connection through Ponto, the bank transactions are continuously retrieved automatically. Ponto provides a secure connection between Kees de Boekhouder and your business bank account. To set up this connection, you need to authorize Ponto and renew this authorization every 90 days. This ensures that your bank transactions are always up to date.
